Abstract
In the context of electronic devices based on so-called conjugated polymers, it is of critical importance to understand the effects of exposing the polymers to the conditions encountered during manufacture or the operation of the devices. It has been shown that photoelectron spectroscopy, in combination with quantum mechanical calculations, is well suited for characterisation of conjugated polymers, which in many cases behave as nearly one-dimensional systems. Applications of the combined experimental and theoretical approach are described, to illustrate the nature and the degree of information, which may be obtained. The approach is applied to studies of the chemical and electronic structure of the pristine polymer materials, as well as studies of chemical interactions and reactions. Examples discussed include the interaction of water molecules with a particular conjugated polymer, and chemical reactions which occur upon exposure to UV-light in the atmosphere. Moreover, discussions of the interaction of metal atoms with the surfaces of conjugated polymers, and nature of the fundamental charge storage states in conjugated polymers, are included.
